Our Living Room - Before & After

We purchased our home in 2005.  Hard to believe we've been here 6 years.  Our home has gone through some major changes.


This is the living room before we purchased it.  I saw so much potential here.














Here is what it looked like at Christmas the year be bought it.










Here are the changes it has gone through. 


Removed Carpet and installed hardwood floors.

Here it is with new couch... we tried it a few different ways in this small space, the couch was much larger that we anticipated for this room.


We even tried separating the sectional and came up with this....(I loved it at the time)
Here is our living room after my makeover this past fall.  So in love!!!!

*Walls were painted
*Bought some Ralph Lauren Black pillows (TJ Maxx)
*Added some shelving
*Added some photos & prints (Marshalls)
*New black tables were from Craigslist
*Added lamps (TJ Maxx)
*Added rug (Marshalls)


*Replaced Curtains from Bed, Bath & Beyond.

This antique cain chair my husband bought me for my 40th birthday.  I can't wait to give it a make over this summer.  I'm thinking a soft gray or beige color and a new paris motiff cushion.
